LionaStone Twitch VOD & Videos

When most DJs were scrambling to figure out livestreaming during the pandemic, one Ukrainian creator was already treating it like her full-time career. Liona Stone didn't just adapt to the digital shift—she completely embraced it, turning what others saw as a temporary solution into something much bigger. Her journey from Ukrainian television presenter to one of Twitch's most dedicated music streamers reads like a masterclass in reinvention.

Stone's path to streaming wasn't exactly conventional. She spent years as a TV host on a Ukrainian music channel, interviewing major artists and getting an inside look at the industry. But when political upheaval hit Ukraine in 2014, everything changed. She pivoted to DJing full-time, spending the next several years building her reputation at beach clubs in Bali and high-energy venues in Dubai. It was solid work, but nothing could have prepared her for what came next.

What sets Stone apart isn't just her music—it's her approach to streaming itself. While most DJs were doing a couple hours here and there, she was pulling six-hour sessions almost daily. We're talking about someone who genuinely saw livestreaming as the future, not just a pandemic band-aid. Her community, affectionately known as the "Space Lions," responded in kind. They weren't just casual viewers dropping in for a song or two; they became a tight-knit group that genuinely cared about her journey.

That connection proved crucial when life threw her another curveball. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Stone initially kept streaming, updating her audience about the situation back home. But eventually, safety concerns forced her to go dark temporarily while she and her family figured out their next move. The Space Lions rallied around her during this period, offering support through Discord while she navigated refugee status and eventually made it to the United States.

Today, Stone operates as a Twitch Partner with over 38,000 followers, averaging around 255 viewers per stream with peaks hitting over 2,500. Those might not be the biggest numbers on the platform, but they represent something more meaningful—a genuine community that's stuck with her through major life transitions. Her recent streaming schedule shows she's still putting in serious hours, clocking about 84 hours over the past month. For someone who's had to rebuild her life multiple times, that consistency speaks volumes about her commitment to both her craft and her audience. It's rare to find creators who treat streaming with that level of professional dedication while maintaining such authentic connections with their viewers.
